Multi

Child-Theme of Desk Mess Mirrored 2.0 - Marble desktop covered with a mix of old and new items, such as some vintage papers, a stainless steel pen, and, a hot cup of coffee! Please read the included changelog.txt, readme.txt, and support.txt files for the details of the latest changes and other important information.

@Joel – Your theme looks more like the original “Desk Mess” and not like my “Desk Mess Mirrored” or this Child-Theme; although I would suspect you would find a more “core” WordPress functions and features supported in my versions, I cannot speak to what the actual differences would be.

@Joel – The main difference is basically the orange RSS image in the coffee cup, now … when Multi was first introduced it handled some multiple author functionality that has now since been better addressed in the core WordPress files.

@Frank – Yes, there is a “z-index” issue that should be corrected with the next release of Desk Mess Mirrored (or you can get the latest working copy from the GitHub link noted in the theme’s documentation). The ‘#cup’ element should have a z-index value of 1090.

Hello！I love this theme!Very good design!
I want to put mini calenders beside each entry titles,but I can’t.
Only one mini calender that showed oldest entry date at the page,please look at my site.
I would take mistakes where to insert (I made CSS and put to desk-mess-mirroed.php)
I’m very happy if you would give some hints.
Sorry for poor writing,I’m Japanese.

@kwauch – You need to move the code you added into “the_Loop”; in the original ‘desk-mess-mirrored.php’ loop file you might try adding your code directly after line 41 <div class="postdata">. You may also want to look at the post format loops and place your code in a similar place.

@Alex – There are several ways you can accomplish this depending on your skill-set. You can over-write the images; you can re-write this Child-Theme to use the images you want to use; or you can upload your new images and add a custom style sheet to use them instead. Unfortunately there is no WordPress core functionality that can manage multiple header images, yet … and, thanks for choosing Multi!

Just came across this theme today and started using it! So far, it is working great. A few questions:

1 – is it possible (with my limited html/css knowledge) to change the color of the post-its for the menu items?
2 – is it possible to remove the “»Page Permalink«” on the home page?
3 – is it possible to make the text for the comments section smaller?
4 – are you planning on adding social media icons as part of future revisions of this template? One idea might be to consider replacing the app icons on the iPhone with social media icons?

@Faris – Thanks for choosing Multi. I’ll answer you questions in the same fashion you have asked them:

1 – The “post-its” are actually images, you could re-work them graphically but generally not through any “easy” CSS
2 – See line 83 in ‘desk-mess-mirrored.php’ in the Desk Mess Mirrored theme files … this may change with future updates
3 – Look at this (and a few others, but this will get you started) CSS element: `div.comment-body p` … you will likely need to add it via a plugin or some other method of adding custom CSS to the Child-Theme
4 – An interesting idea to use social media icons in the phone image but not likely to be something added to this Child-Theme or the Parent-Theme.

Also to note, any changes you make to this Child-Theme’s files may be over-written with the next update to the Child-Theme.

The theme implements a very basic version of the core WordPress custom menu system. The drop down “effect” will follow the general hierarchy of your pages as you have them stored in their parent-child relationship.

Thank you Edward I appreciate your help. – The text below the comment box is now clear after editing the style.css file and adding p.form-allowed-tags { visibility: hidden; } and
edited the comments.php template file

I finally also figured out how to create the drop down effect by dragging the child menu under the main menu and positioning it slightly to the right. Cool, thank you very much for your help Edward, take care… enjoy your Sunday. 😉

Hello Edward, thanks for this cool WP Desk Mess template.
How do i change/modify the top menu (toolbar menu) ?
I can only create a new one and not modify the default menu (where is located?)
thank you very much for your help Edward.

@Salvatore – You are not currently using the Desk Mess Mirrored theme or its Child-Theme Multi so I cannot provide you any suggestions as I do not see what you are referring to with a “toolbar menu” … if you are referring to the menu to navigate to your site’s content then simply create or use a custom menu found under Appearance > Menu.

It is with a heavy heart that I am retiring, for the first time, one of my plugins.

Just a quick update … this plugin just seems to do what it needs to do and not much more ever really get requested or considered to be added to it. That being the case, this plugin will also most likely be moving to a twice yearly release; unless, of course, a great idea comes […]
